ON THIS EPISODE’S MASTERMIND HOT SEAT: JESSICA HALICH

ABOUT JESSICA: Founder and Owner Jessica Halich perfected the special skills needed to run a cotton-candy machine and became the lead sugar-spinner each year. But it wasn’t until she had children of her own and attended a friend’s birthday party that she realized cotton candy was still exactly the same as she remembered: bright, artificial and full of refined sugar. How had this fluffy confection remain unchanged after all these years? It was time for a modern makeover. After 12 years in various marketing and event production positions, she started a food company!

IT’S IMPORTANT TO JESSICA BECAUSE: Ready to grow and share the spun suga’!

HERE’S WHAT JESSICA HAD TO SAY ABOUT THE MASTERMIND EXPERIENCE + PROGRESS SINCE BEING IN THE HOT SEAT:

“I just wanted to give a quick update since my hot seat. I wanted to say thank you, I had such a great experience on the hot seat.

And from that conversation, I’ve been interviewing people. I have about three people that I’ve been talking to. Just kind of getting a sense for their personalities and figuring out if can we work together. And can they take my brand to the next level?

So, my brand is Fancy Fluff. We do gourmet cotton candy. We have a new exciting idea we’re going to be rolling out this next month! A different way to serve and create activations around cotton candy for private events and conferences and such. Also hopefully a really cool, shareable idea that we take into other cities.

So, that’s it. I’m interviewing. I’m playing with it and I’m having fun. And hopefully, we will be in a city near you soon.”
